Traffic bottleneck:auto convoy
Posted: Sun Jan 29, 2006 12:53 pm
I use Andrew Brown's extended map and CHS exclusively, and about 5 weeks ago upgraded to the new beta patch, with no problems since.
I have experienced a new problem,(as of last night) which I have never seen before.
At the very bottom of the "spaghetti curves" leading away from Aden/Middle East I noticed a convoy did not seem to be moving. Since this corridor is constantly in use, it has never been noticeable before, but this time, I mouse clicked and the detail of that hex showed approx 20(!) auto convoys, each with anywhere from 1 to 7 ships per, all were out-bound, and all showed a destination of hex 114.72, and at least some were bound to "refuel at Pearl"(but not all IIRC..)
I manually have gone in and released at least half of them from auto-convoy, and have given manual orders to see what happens.
I know some of you do not ever use auto-convoy, but honestly this is the 1st time I have really had any problems, (since learning how to "create" my own waypoints).
Just wanted to present this situation in case its' not been noticed before.
BTW, there have been NO changes to my map in months.
